MR88 Help

No need to leave my tuner alone when it comes with XM support without having to add another device to my system for tuning in the XM stations. It's a more unified solution for me and I can utilize the DAC in my MX135 instead of whatever would be in a standalone XM receiver.
 
My MR85 didn,t even come with a remote. With all the units in stand-by mode, I can turn each the whole stack on or off with the main C46 remote.
 
Depends on which XM tuner module you have as to which software is needed. Beats me why XM has different versions of tuner modules.

Thanks,
 
I have an MR-88 on the way to me. 50/50 if I want to mess with XM. But which mini tuner do you guys recommend that works best with the MR-88?

"rpdugan" I just came upon your post and it's been posted since November, but if your seeking a answer, I just acquired a MR88 from my late friends estate and called McIntosh Labs and spoke with Chuck regarding your very question. He mention to get the Audovox XHD2HI XM home tuner which I ordered from Amazon. I just hoping once I get it I don't have a firmware issue that's mentioned in this thread. My friend had purchased the unit new in December 2013 so it may have the most recent firmware. First night listening, unit sounds great on some local jazz HD channels. I will also be ordering a remote for it, Chuck at McIntosh say it uses a HR085 Remote. Enjoy your MR88!

Yup. That’s the one I grabbed. I am very happy with the tuner, and I am using the XM too. Congrats on the purchase.
